Gluten-Free Orange Almond Polenta Cake

I made this gluten-free cake on my second day of baking with my sister. I also made a classic Victoria’s Sandwich, but I was less happy with that, and this was so delicious. Now before I get to this fab gluten-free recipe, I want to explain that the cookbook I reference is my British cookbook from the GBBO show.

Midnight is usually the earliest that I go to bed.  What does that mean to you morning people?  It means there is only one- “6” in each day and it is not 6:00 am.  But yesterday required a 6am alarm and be out of the house by 7:00 am.   It was tough as I did not have time to consume my…
